BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The disclosure relates to a clock and data recovery circuit, and more particularly, to a clock and data recovery circuit module, a memory storage device and a phase lock method.

Description of Related Art

Generally, in a signal transmission system, a transmitter uses its clock to generate a data signal and then transmits said data signal to a receiver. As for the receiver, in order to correctly identify a logical level of the data signal, the receiver must read the data signal according to a clock that is synchronous with the clock of the transmitter. Therefore, the receiver often uses a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit module to recover the clock of the transmitter.

In some specific cases, the receiver may detect a frequency of the data signal and sample a reference clock according to the detected frequency, so as to perform a phase lock that is relatively more accurate. However, sampling the reference clock by using the frequency of the data signal may result in larger system power consumption and a design cost may also be increased accordingly since a circuitry with high circuit complexity is required to process a sampling result.

However, in another exemplary embodiment, the logic circuit module 23 may also include a logic circuit different from that depicted in FIG. 2.

The delay circuit module 24 is coupled to the logic circuit module 23 and configured to delay the logic result (e.g., the sub logic results LR_1 and LR_2) of the first logic operation.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the delay circuit module 24 includes delay circuits 241 and 242. The delay circuit 241 is configured to receive and delay the sub logic result LR_1 and output a delayed result LR_1′. The delay circuit 242 is configured to receive and delay the sub logic result LR_2 and output a delayed result LR_2′. In the present exemplary embodiment, each of the delay circuits 241 and 242 includes at least one non-inverting or inverting delay element. Type and amount of the delay elements in the delay circuits 241 and 242 are not particularly limited in the disclosure. In the present exemplary embodiment, each of the delay circuits 241 and 242 is configured to delay a received signal by one clock cycle. However, in another exemplary embodiment, each of the delay circuits 241 and 242 may also delay the received signal by a plurality of clock cycles depending on the amount of the delay elements therein.

The logic circuit module 25 is coupled to the delay circuit module 24. The logic circuit module 25 is configured to perform another logic operation (hereinafter, also known as a second logic operation) according to the sub logic results LR_1 and LR_2 and the delayed results LR_1′ (i.e., the delayed logic result LR_1) and LR_2′ (i.e., the delayed logic result LR_2) and output a logic result of the second logic operation.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the logic circuit module 25 includes sub logic circuits 251 and 252. The sub logic circuit 251 is configured to receive the sub logic result LR_2 and the delayed result LR_1′. The sub logic circuit 251 performs a corresponding logic operation (hereinafter, also known as a third sub logic operation) according to the sub logic result LR_2 and the delayed result LR_1′ and outputs a sub logic result LR_3.

However, in another exemplary embodiment, the logic circuit module 25 may also include a logic circuit different from that depicted in FIG. 2.

The frequency adjustment circuit 26 is coupled to the logic circuit module 25. The frequency adjustment circuit 26 is configured to generate and output the frequency adjustment signal FAS_1 according to the logic result (e.g., the sub logic results LR_3 and LR_4) of the second logic operation. The frequency adjustment signal FAS_1 may be an frequency up adjustment signal or a frequency down adjustment signal. The frequency up adjustment signal is configured to increase the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB. The frequency down adjustment signal is configured to reduce the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB. For example, the frequency adjustment circuit 26 receives the sub logic result LR_3 and determines whether the sub logic result LR_3 matches a preset condition (hereinafter, also known as a first condition). The frequency adjustment circuit 26 outputs the frequency up adjustment signal if the sub logic result LR_3 matches the first condition. The frequency adjustment circuit 26 does not output the frequency up adjustment signal if the sub logic result LR_3 does not match the first condition. For example, the frequency adjustment circuit 26 receives the sub logic result LR_4 and determines whether the sub logic result LR_4 matches another preset condition (hereinafter, also known as a second condition). The frequency adjustment circuit 26 outputs the frequency down adjustment signal if the sub logic result LR_4 matches the second condition. The frequency adjustment circuit 26 does not output the frequency down adjustment signal if the sub logic result LR_4 does not match the second condition. In an exemplary embodiment, the frequency adjustment circuit 26 may include at least one filter circuit. For example, the frequency adjustment circuit 26 outputs the frequency up adjustment signal only when the sub logic result LR_3 is at one preset state (e.g., at the logical level “1”); and the frequency adjustment circuit 26 outputs the frequency down adjustment signal only when the sub logic result LR_4 is at another preset state (e.g., at the logical level “1”).

FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 are schematic diagrams illustrating the processing of sampling results according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 together, in the case where a frequency value 402 of the feedback clock CLK_FB is lower than a frequency value 401 of the data signal DATA in a time interval, the sampling results SR_1 to SR_3 may be obtained after sampling the data signal DATA according to the reference clocks CLK_1 to CLK_3. The sub logic result LR_1 may be obtained after performing the XOR operation on the sampling results SR_1 and SR_2. The sub logic result LR_2 may be obtained after performing the XOR operation on the sampling results SR_2 and SR_3. For example, waveforms of the sub logic results LR_1 and LR_2 are as shown by FIG. 4, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. After delaying the sub logic result LR_1 by one clock cycle, the AND operation is performed on the delayed sub logic result LR_1 (i.e., the delayed result LR_1′) and the sub logic result LR_2, and the logical level “1” of the sub logic result LR_3 is obtained. Accordingly, the frequency adjustment circuit 26 outputs the frequency up adjustment signal.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 together, in the case where a frequency value 502 of the feedback clock CLK_FB is higher than a frequency value 501 of the data signal DATA in another time interval, the sampling results SR_1 to SR_3 may be obtained after sampling the data signal DATA according to the reference clocks CLK_1 to CLK_3. The sub logic result LR_1 may be obtained after performing the XOR operation on the sampling results SR_1 and SR_2. The sub logic result LR_2 may be obtained after performing the XOR operation on the sampling results SR_2 and SR_3. For example, waveforms of the sub logic results LR_1 and LR_2 are as shown by FIG. 5, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. After delaying the sub logic result LR_2 by one clock cycle, if the AND operation is performed on the sub logic result LR_1 and the delayed sub logic result LR_2 (i.e., the delayed result LR_2′), the logical level “1” of the sub logic result LR_4 is obtained. Accordingly, the frequency adjustment circuit 26 outputs the frequency down adjustment signal.

It is worth mentioning that, the decision circuit module of the disclosure is not limited to the circuit layout shown by the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2, and the logic operations that the decision circuit module may perform are not limited to the above either. In another exemplary embodiment, if the decision circuit module includes the logic circuit having different logic gates and/or the circuit layout of the logic circuits in the decision circuit module is changed, the logic operation corresponding to each logic circuit may also be changed accordingly, which is not particularly limited in the disclosure. Further, in another exemplary embodiment, if the circuit layout of the decision circuit module is different from the circuit layout shown by the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2, settings of the frequency adjustment circuit for said first condition and said second condition may also be changed without being limited to the settings in the exemplary embodiments of FIG. 2 to FIG. 5.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the clock control circuit 12 may further include a charge pump 121, a low pass filter circuit 122 and a voltage control oscillation circuit 123.

The charge pump 121 is coupled to the data frequency detection circuit 11. The charge pump 121 is configured to charge/discharge one or more capacitors in the charge pump 121 according to the frequency adjustment signal FAS_1 in order to output a frequency adjustment voltage FAV_1. For example, in response to the frequency up adjustment signal, the charge pump 121 outputs the frequency adjustment voltage FAV_1 configured to increase the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB; and in response to the frequency down adjustment signal, the charge pump 121 outputs the frequency adjustment voltage FAV_1 configured to reduce the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB.

The low pass filter circuit 122 is coupled to the charge pump 121. The low pass filter circuit 122 is configured to output a frequency control voltage FCV according to the frequency adjustment voltage FAV_1.

The voltage control oscillation circuit 123 is coupled to the low pass filter circuit 122. The voltage control oscillation circuit 123 is configured to output the feedback clock CLK_FB according to the frequency control voltage FCV. For example, the voltage control oscillation circuit 123 may include a crystal oscillator such as a quartz-crystal oscillator, or a non-crystal oscillator. If a voltage value of the frequency control voltage FCV is increased, the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB may be increased. If the voltage value of the frequency control voltage FCV is reduced, the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB may be reduced.

In another exemplary embodiment, the clock control circuit 12 further includes a phase detection circuit 124 and a charge pump 125.

The phase detection circuit 124 is coupled to the voltage control oscillation circuit 123. The phase detection circuit 124 is configured to detect and output a phase difference PD between the data signal DATA and the feedback clock CLK_FB.

The charge pump 125 is coupled to the phase detection circuit 124. The charge pump 125 is configured to charge/discharge one or more capacitors in the charge pump 125 according to the phase difference PD in order to output a frequency adjustment voltage FAV_2. In this way, the low pass filter circuit 122 is also capable of receiving the frequency adjustment voltage FAV_2 and outputting the frequency control voltage FCV to the voltage control oscillation circuit 123 according to at least one of the frequency adjustment voltages FAV_1 and FAV_2. Herein, according to the present exemplary embodiment, the charge pump 125 and the low pass filter circuit 122 may be combined into an integral gain converter (Ki converter).

In another exemplary embodiment, the clock control circuit 12 further includes a converter circuit 126.

The converter circuit 126 is coupled to the phase detection circuit 124. The converter circuit 126 is configured to output phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2 according to the phase difference PD. The phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2 are synchronously outputted to the voltage control oscillation circuit 123 and used to control the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB at the same time. The voltage control oscillation circuit 123 receives the phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2 and outputs the feedback clock CLK_FB according to the phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2. Herein, according to the present exemplary embodiment, the converter circuit 126 may be a proportional gain converter (Kp converter), for example.

It is worth mentioning that, in the present exemplary embodiment, the frequency control voltage FCV is configured to perform a coarse adjustment on the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB, whereas the phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2 are configured to perform a fine adjustment on the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB at the same time. For example, if a frequency difference between the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB and the frequency of the data signal DATA is greater (e.g., said difference is greater than a threshold), the frequency control voltage FCV is mainly used to perform a greater degree of adjustment on the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB, so as to accelerate the speed for catching up the frequency of the data signal DATA; and if the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB and the frequency of the data signal DATA are already very close (e.g., said difference is less than said threshold), the phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2 are mainly used to perform a smaller degree of adjustment on the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB, so as to accurately lock the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB at the frequency of the data signal DATA.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a converter circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 6, a converter circuit 626 includes a phase adjustment circuit 631, an inverter circuit 632 and a phase control circuit 633.

The phase adjustment circuit 631 is configured to generate and output phase adjustment signals PAS_1 and PAS_2 according to the phase difference PD. The phase adjustment signal PAS_1 is configured to instruct increasing the frequency of the feedback CLK_FB. The phase adjustment signal PAS_2 is configured to instruct reducing the frequency of the feedback CLK_FB.

The inverter circuit 632 is coupled to the phase adjustment circuit 631. The inverter circuit 632 is configured to receive the phase adjustment signal PAS_2 and invert the phase adjustment signal PAS_2. For example, if the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_2 is “1,” the logical level of the inverted phase adjustment signal PAS_2 becomes “0”; and if the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_2 is “0,” the logical level of the inverted phase adjustment signal PAS_2 becomes “1.” For example, the inverter circuit 632 includes one or more inverting elements (e.g., inverters). The inverter circuit 632 outputs a phase adjustment signal PAS_2′ (i.e., the inverted phase adjustment signal PAS_2).

The phase control circuit 633 is coupled to the phase adjustment circuit 631 and the inverter circuit 632. The phase control circuit 633 is configured to receive the phase adjustment signal PAS_1 and the phase adjustment signal PAS_2′ and output the phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2 according to the phase adjustment signal PAS_1 and the phase adjustment signal PAS_2′. In the present exemplary embodiment, the phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2 are synchronously outputted. However, in another exemplary embodiment, based on different usage scenarios, it is also possible that only one of the phase control voltages PCV_1 and PCV_2 is outputted.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating the corresponding frequency shifts based on the phase control signal according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a voltage control oscillation circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, it is assumed that the logical level “1” of the phase adjustment signal PAS_1 instructs to increase the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB, and the logical level “1” of the phase adjustment signal PAS_2 instructs to reduce the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB. Further, in the case where a voltage control oscillation circuit 823 includes an inductor L and capacitors C1 to C3, the phase control voltage PCV_1 is configured to be outputted to the capacitor C1 in the voltage control oscillation circuit 823, and the phase control voltage PCV_2 is configured to be outputted to the capacitor C2 in the voltage control oscillation circuit 823.

If the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_1 is “0” and the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_2 is “0,” a preset frequency shift is “+5 MHz,” however, after being processed by the phase control circuit 633 and the voltage control oscillation circuit 123, an actual frequency shift is controlled at “0 MHz” (i.e., the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB is not changed), which matches instructions of the phase adjustment signals PAS_1 and PAS_2.

If the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_1 is “0” and the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_2 is “1,” the preset frequency shift is “0 MHz”; however, after being processed by the phase control circuit 633 and the voltage control oscillation circuit 123, the actual frequency shift is controlled at “−5 MHz” (i.e., the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB is reduced), which matches instructions of the phase adjustment signals PAS_1 and PAS_2.

If the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_1 is “1” and the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_2 is “0,” the preset frequency shift is “+10 MHz”; however, after being processed by the phase control circuit 633 and the voltage control oscillation circuit 123, an actual frequency shift is controlled at “+5 MHz” (i.e., the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB is increased), which matches instructions of the phase adjustment signals PAS_1 and PAS_2.

If the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_1 is “1” and the logical level of the phase adjustment signal PAS_2 is “1,” the preset frequency shift is “+5 MHz”; however, after being processed by the phase control circuit 633 and the voltage control oscillation circuit 123, an actual frequency shift is controlled at “0 MHz” (i.e., the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB is not changed), which matches instructions of the phase adjustment signals PAS_1 and PAS_2.

In the present exemplary embodiment, an anti-interference capability for noises may be improved by using two phase control signals to instruct increasing and reducing the frequency of the feedback clock CLK_FB respectively and inverting one of said phase control signals. Particularly, a mismatching effect for the charge pump may also be improved.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating a clock and data recovery circuit module according to another exemplary embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 9, a clock and data recovery circuit module 90 includes a data frequency detection circuit 91, a clock control circuit 92 and a clock frequency detection circuit 93. The clock control circuit 92 may include a charge pump 921, a low pass filter circuit 922, a voltage control oscillation circuit 923, a phase detection circuit 924, a charge pump 925 and a converter circuit 926. Nonetheless, the data frequency detection circuit 91 and the clock control circuit 92 are identical or similar to the data frequency detection circuit 11 and the clock control circuit 12 in FIG. 1 respectively, and thus related description thereof is not repeated hereinafter.

The clock frequency detection circuit 93 is coupled to the charge pump 921. The clock frequency detection circuit 93 is configured to detect a frequency difference between the feedback clock CLK_FB and a preset reference clock CLK_D and output a frequency adjustment signal FAS_2 according to the frequency difference. The charge pump 921 outputs the frequency adjustment voltage FAV_1 according to at least one of the frequency adjustment signal FAS_1 and the frequency adjustment signal FAS_2.

Generally, a frequency of the preset reference clock CLK_D is far lower than the frequency of the data signal DATA, and thus a system power consumption in the operation of the clock frequency detection circuit 93 is less than the system power consumption in the operation of the data frequency detection circuit 91. Yet, as compared to the data frequency detection circuit 91, a locking capability of the clock frequency detection circuit 93 for frequency/phase is relatively poor. Particularly, when a frequency jitter occurs on the data signal DATA, the locking capability of the clock frequency detection circuit 93 for frequency/phase reduces substantially.

In the present exemplary embodiment, under normal circumstances, the clock frequency detection circuit 93 is activated, whereas the data frequency detection circuit 91 is not activated. Herein, the normal circumstances refer to circumstances where the frequency of the data signal DATA is relatively stable (e.g., when a frequency variation of the data signal DATA is less than a preset value within a preset time range). In this way, with the operation of clock frequency detection circuit 93, a basic locking capability for frequency/phase may be maintained while saving the system power consumption. However, under circumstances where the frequency of the data signal DATA is relatively unstable, the data frequency detection circuit 91 is activated to improve the locking capability for the frequency/phase of the data signal DATA. Herein, the circumstances where the frequency of the data signal DATA is relatively unstable refer to, for example, when the frequency jitter occurs on the data signal DATA. For instance, if the frequency variation of the data signal DATA is greater than the preset value within a preset time range, it can be determined that the frequency of the data signal DATA is relatively unstable. Later, if the frequency of the data signal DATA is back to stable, the data frequency detection circuit 91 will be turned off.

More specifically, in each of the memory cells, a charge trapping layer is provided between a control gate and a channel. Amount of electrons in the charge trapping layer may be changed by applying a write voltage to the control gate thereby changing the threshold voltage of the memory cell. This process of changing the threshold voltage is also known as “writing data into the memory cell” or “programming the memory cell.” Each of the memory cells in the rewritable non-volatile memory module 4060 has a plurality of storage statuses depended on changes in the threshold voltage.

For instance, a least significant bit (LSB) of one memory cell belongs to the lower physical programming unit, and a most significant bit (MSB) of one memory cell belongs to the upper physical programming unit. Generally, in the MLC NAND flash memory, a writing speed of the lower physical programming unit is faster than a writing speed of the upper physical programming unit, or a reliability of the lower physical programming unit is higher than a reliability of the upper physical programming unit.
